We investigate the elongation and breaking process of metallic nanowires using the ultimate jellium model in self-consistent density-functional calculations of the electron structure. In this model the positive background charge deforms to…
Magnetic nanowires are critical components in fields such as data storage and spintronics, where precise control of their magnetic properties is essential for device optimization. In particular, the behavior of isolated nanowires is often…
Moderate amount of bending strains, ~3% are enough to induce the semiconductor-metal transition in Si nanowires of ~4nm diameter. The influence of bending on silicon nanowires of 1 nm to 4.3 nm diameter is investigated using molecular…
The present-day nanodevice dimensions continuously shrink, with the aim to prolong Moore's law. As downsizing meticulously persists, undesirable dynamic defects, which cause low-frequency noise and structural instability, play detrimental…
Molecular dynamics calculations revealed that the temperature of operation and the applied tensile force (f) determine not only the kinetics but also the mode and duration of Au nanowire breaking. In the tensile force range of 0.018 and 0.1…
Nanowires of different nature have been shown to self-assemble as a function of stress at the contact between two macroscopic metallic leads. Here we demonstrate for gold wires that the balance between various metastable nanowire…
At submonolayer coverage, Mn forms atomic wires on the Si(001) surface oriented perpendicular to the underlying Si dimer rows. While many other elements form symmetric dimer wires at room temperature, we show that Mn wires have an…
Superconducting nanowires fabricated via carbon-nanotube-templating can be used to realize and study quasi-one-dimensional superconductors. However, measurement of the linear resistance of these nanowires have been inconclusive in…

Quasi-one-dimensional superconductors or nanowires exhibit a transition into a nonsuperconducting regime, as their diameter shrinks. We present measurements on ultrashort nanowires (~40-190 nm long) in the vicinity of this quantum…
In order to understand properties of ultrathin copper nanowires, we have simulated several copper nanowires using classical molecular dynamic simulations. As the temperature increases, copper nanowires were transformed into structures of…
